Following our first glimpse at its Spring/Summer 2015 collection, Hood By Air returns with the initial drop from the warm weather range, including a standout trio of “Illusion” designs. Drawing on designer Shayne Oliver’s penchant for a black and white palette, colorblocking and graphic-driven streetwear, pieces like the Illusion Double Tee and Illusion Block Extended Tee play with layers and hem lengths, respectively, while the Illusion Block Tee adds some gloss to its short-sleeved tonal design with a wraparound vinyl print. Bold, polarizing and always distinctive, Hood By Air’s Spring/Summer 2015 “Illusion” items — along with the rest of the seasonal collections standouts — are available now at the HYPEBEAST Store.
